Review: Etude House Bling in The Sea Sparkling Nails (BBL601 and BBL603)


I've been absent for a few days now and even though I have a lot of pending post I don't feel like updating them... I think the heat is getting to me.. I've been feeling dizzy and spends most of my time indoors... But I made up my mind this time and gathers all of my spirit to write this post .


It's Etude House Bling in The Sea Sparkling Nails!!! Their series of glitter nail polishes is the cutest one I've encountered so far!! It really has that mermaidy feeling to it. The nail polishes that I got are:
BBL601 #04 Mermaid's Tears
BBL603 #06 Shiny Jewelry Box


Packaging:
These nail polishes comes in a slim glass bottle and I really like the blue glittery design on the caps. It is also sealed so I'll know that I'm the first one that opens the bottle.


The Nail Polish:
Etude House Bling In The Sea Sparkling Nails BBL601 Mermaid's Tears (#4) has a light blue tinted clear base polish and BBL603 Shiny Jewelry Box  (#6) has a blue tinted clear base polish. Both nail polishes has several types of glitters - there are round and hexagon shape glitters in small, medium and large size and all of the glitters has different color too!!


The Brush:
The brush is just right in length and width and it’s really easy to apply the product on my nails. I didn't have any difficulty in picking up the glitters like the previous Pink Prism Nail Polish.

Application & Consistency:
The formula is quite nice, it's not too runny that makes it hard to coat or too thick and gooey that it's hard to dry. I think it's just the right consistency and the glitters distributes nicely too.


Mermaid's Tear Swatches:
I try to use it on my nails with and without base color. The Mermaid's Tears looks very cute on my nails by itself and since some of the glitters is holographic it has different colors depending on the light. The glitter looks yellow under artificial light and light blue under natural light.


Shiny Jewelry Box Swatches:
The Shiny Jewelry Box looks pretty much the same under artificial and natural lightning and the color are more obvious than the Mermaid's Tears.


Swatches with Dark Base:
I use Royal Blue as a base for this look and if you're looking for that glam look I think Shiny Jewelry Box if the one that you wanna get although I still like the Mermaid's Tears because it sorta gives that cute melancholy look. Err... What am I talking about???

Coverage:
This nail polish has a nice coverage. I only use 2-3 coats for dense and evenly distributed glitter coverage and even if I want to have a bolder look I can always layer them again since this nail polish doesn't build up. #awesome!!!

Drying Time:
 I think the drying time is about average for this nail polish.

Finish:
It has a glossy finish and when I touch my nails it felt slightly rough from all of the glitters. I usually use top coats though for a smoother surface.

Durability:
I use this nail polish with base and top coat for about a week and no heavy duty activity and I didn't notice any tip wear or chipping but if did a lot of activity the nails polish will wear off or chipped after three days.

Removal:
Like any other glitter nail polishes this one is quite tough to remove and I had to use quite a lot of nail polish remover.

What I Like :
- beautiful glitter.
- easy to spread.
- buildable color.

What I Don't Like :
- hard to remove

Where I Buy It:
